early xmas this year
Over the Thanksgiving weekend I went up and visit my bestfriend up in Reno, NV and couldn't resist stopping at Summit. Oh man, I've been there before, but everytime I go in there I'm in awe of all the speed parts *drool drool* I dropped some cash and walked out the door with an MSD 6A ignition, MSD coil and cap adapter for the HEI I have, a pro street fuel cell, all the line and fittings to get it plumbed, and some little misc. parts. I was kind of curious where you guys who have MSD's have them mounted.... pics would be great. I'm thinking either on one of the inner fenders or on the firewall. Also, with the fuel cell...... where's a good place to buy a filler door I could put on my wood bed? I know there are marine type places that sell stuff like that. Anyone care to point me in the right direction?

Which fuel cell did you get? A Summit 16-gallon? If so, pop off the fuel cap and look inside at the fuel sender float. The sender in mine is the wrong one. The float only extends half way down, not all the way to the bottom of the tank. So when the tank is half full, the gauge reads empty. "Lost Wages" has the same tank I do and he checked his out.... sure enough.... same problem. I called Summit last week and toldl them about the problem. They told me to send the sender back and they'd send me the correct one. It must have been a production error. If you have this same tank, let me know if yours is also wrong.

You guys got me worried
![]() ![]() Here's a pic of my MSD box. No longer red but painted green to match. I also have the BOOST retard with switch on dash to retard timing on demand. I just made a nice little tray for them to sit on and screwed to fender. I have since moved them to firewall, but I don't have a pic of that.

I bought mine March of last year. The dude said it'd be no problem to exchange the sender since it was a manufaturer screw up.

Well the sender in mine goes all the way to the bottom. I got the 16 gallon with foam.

One of the tech guys sold me on the foam. I was concerned about the foam taking up the capacity.... especially since the tank is only 16 gal, but he said that the foam only takes up a tenth or two of a gallon...... thats such a small price to pay for getting rid of fuel slosh.
